Description:
The paper deals with reconfigurable control of in-wheel electric vehicles. Basically the vehicle is controlled alone by the four electric engines mounted in the wheels of the vehicle. The goal is to design a control system with velocity and trajectory tracking ability realized by separate torque generation of the in-wheel motors. In critical driving situations when the yaw moment cannot be established with the four in-wheel engine alone, the high-level controller reconfigures the actuator inputs, thus steering intervention helps to stabilize the vehicle. Moreover, a multi-layer supervisory architecture for integrated control systems is also proposed. The operation of the vehicle is illustrated through a CarSim simulation example.
